    It was Isandlewana in reverse. The British played their defense cards strongly. Apparently the Zulu King was outraged when he learned that his forces had crossed the border into Natal because it gave London carte blanche to intervene far more.

    • @sqnhunter
      @sqnhunter Год назад +6

      Considering the Zulu king actually wanted to sue for peace after Isandlewana, as he had shown his strength and control, he would have been infuriated that the British returned much stronger and used much harsher tactics than he would himself. His whole plan was stuffed up by Rorkes ridge catastrophe! Both home teams were smaller..... but comparable with Isandlewana. The only difference was location and better commanders... We cant even say better trained troops, really. Just better leadership!

    It was reported that the fire from the burning buildings lit up the area so bright, that the British garrison was able to spot the attacking Zulus at night, in fact, the soldiers said that this was a saving grace.

    Seven were killed on the ramparts, all by rifle fire - three fit men, three patients and one non-combatant. The hospital siege accounted for nine killed ( eight stabbed, most in their sickbeds)

      The film Zulu was spectacular cinema entertainment for the masses.
      But why did it need a Yank, Cy Endfied to write the screenplay & co-Direct it?
      Whatever reason, he made a cracking spectacle of it.
      We Brits had never seen a battle done on celluloid quite like this before.
      Previously - North West Frontier & The Cruel Sea had been classics of British Cinema & some liked Bridge over the River Kwai (but not me).
      I don't think the Jack Hawkins 'cowardly vicar' section added anything to the experience though.
      It certainly didn't happen in reality...
      I would have liked the British Director Ridley Scott have had a go at it, but I guess it was a bit early for him as he probably wasn't around in 1962/63.
      Ridley Scott Directed some crackers - The Duellists, Alien & Blade Runner.

    Great visuals. Nice to see Dalton recognised. Settlers were told by Government in London not to cross the Orange River into Zululand/Natal. They did. There was no intention from the British Government to engage in violence. There are books on Rorke's Drift which explains all this. Suggest interested folk acquire a Library copy if they can't buy it. Sadly I can't find the book I had read which explains this - others suggest an invasion of Zululand was planned!

    3:17 "Helpmekaar" im Dutch, and its funny to me to hear all these dutch settler words.
    It means: "Help Eachother", so im speculating here, but i assume the people founding it must have been very good neighbors to eachother.

      @@jonkline709 What’s the Point? The Point is that an army of 4,000 soldiers armed with spears should not fight against a company of riflemen. In the same way that the Polish Army learned that a Cavalry Brigade cannot fight against twenty-five Panzer Tanks. Now, UK has the "Historic Honor" of the thieves and looters. What honor can there be in a country that sends its Army to invade other nations to submit by force? The English Empire, owe their "Greatness" to Piracy, to Slavery, to Genocide; to the Assassination of Gov't Leaders, to the Opium Trade, and finally owe their greatness to the weakness of other sovereign nations that turned out to have OIL or Mining, or any wealth to take away. What the heck was the English Empire doing all over the world? STEALING HEROICALLY!
